We were charged $60 USD per person for leftovers. I also heard her coming up with prices in the back with her granddaughter. She asks you where you're from so she knows how much to charge you. She said she charges Italians more because they don't tip. I'm mexican and have never been scammed in mexico until I came here. Do yourself a favor and avoid!!

I heard her talking to her granddaughter when coming up with a price to charge and she literally said she charges foreigners from countries where they don't tip more to make up the difference from no tip!

What a treat! such a hidden gem. I was passing by on my way to find a restaurant for dinner...I looked in, thinking it was a local store, but further back are tables. They atmosphere was so authentic, charming, cozy, and a delight, so I stayed as the hostess (Yuny) was so warm and welcoming as she explained the menu. I was the only one in there (I was a bit early), but enjoyed looking around and watching the family prepare my meal on the open flame grill, flatten the tortillas and cook them on there, and grab the fresh ingredients needed that are laid out around it. The whole experience, and the food, was a lovely and pleasant surprise! Kelly

Like other reviewers I too have traveled through many parts of Mexico and had truly amazing food. The food was good but definitely NOT amazing food very basic and WAY OVERPRICED. For 750 pesos per person, we got guacamole with a tortilla of cheese. Then a squash soup about 1 cup on a coconut husk, the main was a sampling of a poblano stuffed with cheese, rice with a raw banana slice, a couple tablespoon of beans and about 1 oz of pork with mole. To finish as an after thought, Sofia pulled out a dessert from her personal fridge that one of her friends made and literally sliced VERY small slices of this dry days old apple bread. I was hoping for more out of someone supposedly experienced. Maybe some fish or similar considering Loreto is right of the sea of Cortez. I would definitely not recommend this place. Also the vibe my husband and I got after talking with her was a bit scam artist-y. Maybe she is looking for investors for her property that she had pre circled on a map. She was braggadocio and seemed to be trying too hard. As the other reviewers said stay away and spend your money on better places we spent 1500 pesos on basic food for 2 people

The atmosphere of her home/restaurant is incredible. Truly unique. Kinda necessary for some fluency in Spanish to get the full experience.
